Sunflowers: Week 1

This is our fourth year planting sunflower seeds, but, I am always just as excited as the kids when we find that first sprout! It only took five days this year.

April 26, 2013, Day 5: Our first sprout!

 

Once that first sprout appears, it not too long before the rest of them catch up. Sure enough, just a couple days later, and we have nine pots with at least one sprout in them. Our neighbors haven't seen them yet; Clara and Colton can't wait to show them off!

April 28, 2013, Week 1: 9 out of 15 have sprouts!

We can see the dirt being pushed up in a few more, so it won't be long before we can add more pots to our list of sprouted ones. They're sure to take off from here and we'll be planting them in the yard before we know it.

They're Back!!

It's Sunflower Time at the Barrett house! We've got a new house, which means a new yard, and that means finding a new place to plant our sunflowers. We have a few weeks to decide for sure. This year, we recruited the help of three of our neighbors to help with the planting. Everyone is so excited to see how quickly they will grow. We have 15 pots and will be watching those babies sprout before we know it!
